2013 FOOTLOOSE : Nearly seventy students from Northland Pines High School (NPHS) will present the lively 1980’s dance musical “Footloose” in performances scheduled at 7:00 pm Friday, Feb. 8, Saturday, Feb. 9; and at 2:00 pm Sunday, Feb. 10 in the NPHS Auditorium. Directed by NPHS Choral Director Kate Janssen, Pit Orchestra Director Jennifer Anderson, and with assistance from student directors Taylor Haugen, Heather Klein, and Kirsten Klessig, this is the fourth annual musical production at NPHS in recent years. The musical is set in early 1980’s Bomont, a small western town, where Ren McCormack, a Chicago transplant, readily finds himself at odds with the atmosphere in the town, overseen by the powerful local minister Reverend Shaw. Ren is stunned to learn that dancing is not allowed anywhere within the town limits of Bomont. Ren finds himself drawn to Rev. Shaw’s rebellious daughter, Ariel, while befriending Willard, a local country boy, and his longtime crush Rusty. Ren vows to “take on the town” and incites a revolution by his classmates to throw a dance. The two-act musical involves a cast and crew of 70 NPHS students and a live 8-piece pit orchestra. The production includes 16 musical numbers, including the well-known 1980s hits "Footloose”, “I’m Free”, “Let’s Hear it for the Boy”, and “Almost Paradise”. “The students have risen to the challenge this year of performing a more modern musical with both comedic and dramatic elements. I have been so impressed by their vocal abilities in singing difficult harmonies in a rock style. This is a particularly hardworking group of kids with great Senior leadership, and I’m excited to watch their characters continue to develop into our performances,” says Janssen. Students playing major roles include Senior Sam Puffer as Ren McCormack, Senior Jacqueline (JJ) Pruni as Ariel Moore, Senior Christian Svetnicka as Reverend Shaw Moore, Junior Madeline Consoer as Rusty, Junior Jared Akers as Willard Hewitt, Senior Victoria Schwenn as Urleen, Senior Angelique Gaffny as Wendy Jo, Junior Katie Piper as Vi Moore, Junior Teddy Karlovich as Chuck Cranston, and Junior Jessica Anderson as Ethel McCormack. Tryouts were held and rehearsals began in November. “Our cast, crew, and pit orchestra has been working extremely hard. The cast has rehearsed each school day for two and a half hours since November. The students have given up weekend time, completing three Saturday rehearsals. Our pit orchestra has rehearsed twice a week since December. We are extremely lucky to have supportive parents, community members, and local business owners that assist us such as Bernie Hupperts with acting coaching, Gary Schwenn with set construction, Judy Clure with costumes, and Dave Consoer with signs, along with many other parents who volunteer for supervision, selling tickets, ushering, and providing costumes and props. The musical is a collective effort of all the students involved, in addition to these helpful parents, families, staff members, and community members”, adds Janssen. Other key players in the production include choreographers Mrs. Ann Perry and Mrs. Amy Price, technical director Mr. Jeff Janssen, lighting designer Spencer Gander, sound manager Morgan Munnik, Stage Manager Wyatt Klein, prop manager Cayla Tennikait, and an additional crew of students on scene changes, hair, and make-up. The Pit Orchestra includes Mrs. Laura Plank, piano, Mr. Chris Bruso, guitar, Mr. Mark Hovel, guitar, Walker Levan, bass guitar, Mike Wade, percussion, Jim Schwanke, flute and clarinet, and Luke Simons, synthesizer and tenor saxophone. Tickets for “Footloose” go on sale Monday, January 28th in the NPHS Main Office, and are $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for students and seniors. Doors will open a half hour before each performance. The NPSD Music Boosters will be sponsoring a flower sale at each performance, and the Music Boosters and Middle School PTSO will be co-sponsoring a cake raffle at the Saturday night performance.
